Absolute Person in Every Corner - Absolute Person in Every Corner chapter 36
[Episode 08] Summoning Beasts (4)
♩♬―
[It is the first floor.]
[The door opens.]
While riding down the elevator, Ha Dong-gun gave the briefest operational instructions to the party.
“Did everyone understand?”
Everyone nodded heavily.
“Then, please take care of me.”
“”Yes!””
We all headed to the first floor entrance.
“Save me, save me, save me…”
“Mom! Whoa!”
“Everyone will die!”
A mayhem was unfolding there.
People were in a panic even though they were clearly included and protected in every corner of the house.
It was swallowed up by fear.
coo woo-
The footsteps of a giant approaching closer and closer.
A gigantic monster seen through apartment buildings.
“Kyaaah!”
“Hey, they’re coming this way!”
The fact that it was coming towards this place was enough to make people feel the fear of death.
“I will take care of this. Everyone, please hurry up and move to the operational position.”
We split into three groups and moved.
Leading by Oh Eon-joo, Ha Dong-gun, Kim Da-jeong, and Kang Duk-soo were in the first group.
Ga-Young Kim, Byeong-Ho Moon, Gun-Yi Kim 2nd group.
And lastly, me and Seo Ye-jin were in the third group.
After confirming that Teams 1 and 2 rushed to the operational location, I opened my mouth to the citizens in panic.
“Ah, everyone. Please pay attention for a moment.”
Despite not having a very loud voice, I was able to successfully capture people’s attention.
At the same time, I broadcast my voice through every generation of broadcast equipment under my control.
“Currently, a giant is approaching our apartment complex. Military veterans, please gather at the main gate, and the rest of us take their children and take refuge in the underground parking lot.”
He said it in the calmest voice possible.
As if this kind of thing is nothing.
“I will say it again. A giant is currently approaching…”
Was it because of the feigned composure, or was this also the effect of the Dignity Maintenance skill?
As my voice continued, one or two people came out of the panic.
“yes! underground parking lot! There was an underground parking lot!”
“Is it safe to go there?”
“It’s better than being here for now!”
People started moving.
“Send the children first! We have to go to the underground parking lot right now!”
Once the target was set, people began to move in perfect order.
“honey! Do-yoon is taking them to the underground parking lot.”
“Do you?”
“I have to go to the front door. It’s a military pen.”
“What are you talking about! You are an old man who has finished the reserve army…!”
“Don’t nag, go! hurry!”
“…don’t overdo it.”
There were men like that man who followed my orders and gathered at the front door, but not all had the courage to do so.
Only 121 people gathered at the main gate.
Although the percentage of minors among the total of over 1200 members is quite high, the number of adult males alone exceeds 400.
It didn’t make sense that there were only a hundred of them.
There won’t be that many Sons of God who are exempted from military service in Korea, which has military service.
‘He ran away.’
Hundreds of people pretended not to know and took refuge in an underground parking lot.
‘Cowards.’
The people gathered here did not risk their lives because they were fools.
It was because they knew that if they didn’t fight, they would all die.
They didn’t come together to protect this apartment complex.
They gathered to protect their precious family or to protect themselves.
Even among the 121 people, there were 8 women.
It was a face that all eight people knew.
All six members of her team, including Shin Yu-ra, were together, and the other was Moon Hae-ri, a member of Kim Min-ho’s team.
And finally, it was Yoo Hye-rin.
I asked Hyerin Yoo.
“Hyerin, were you a soldier?”
“It’s not like that, but…”
“Then why did you come here?”
“I want to be a little bit of strength…”
I smiled in satisfaction and nodded.
“good.”
Then a short man raised his hand and asked.
“Yeah, but what should we do?”
He was Baek Seung-min, the younger brother of Baek Seung-yeop.
asked him
“Where is Baek Seung-yeop?”
“that’s···.”
Baek Seung-yeop and the twins were nowhere to be seen.
“Looks like you ran away.”
“…”
At the same time, a heavy silence fell. I saw a few people who were shocked to hear that there were people who had run away.
Some seemed to regret their decision to come to the front door.
‘I’ll need to weed it out.’
Deciding to give it one more chance, I opened my mouth.
“I will calmly convey the current situation.”
He looked at the troubled people and said:
“Honestly, I’m not even sure if I can defeat that monster or not. Worst case scenario, we could all die together.”
When he directly mentioned death, people’s eyes began to shake.
“I tend to respect individual choices. If there are people who want to run away even now, run away. I will not hold on.”
I turned my back and looked at the front door.
“I’ll just count to 10 seconds. After that, even if you want to run away, you won’t be able to run away.”
cooong!
Meanwhile, the giant continued to come here.
They were walking along, pushing down huge buildings in the middle and making a mess.
“10, 9, 8…”
aaang!
The wreckage of the building, crushed by the giant’s hand, collided with the ground, creating a roar.
Shortly after hearing a huge explosion, I heard a man stand up and run from behind.
When one person cut off the start, the people who were worried began to move one by one.
“…3, 2, 1.”
After counting 10 seconds like that, I looked back, and the number of people who had been 121 was reduced to 101.
Their eyes were still shaking, and their limbs were shaking.
Nonetheless, they remained.
“You have more left than I thought.”
someone said that
Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to act in the face of fear.
We needed more courageous people to survive in a world full of fear.
Therefore, I will give preference to them.
This was not discrimination, but fair treatment for those who decided to face their fears.
“Thank you for staying. Everyone please accept this.”
101 pistols and live ammunition were purchased from the shop and given to them.
“gun?”
“Is it a real gun?”
“It’s real, this!”
It was only a handgun.
In fact, it lacked the firepower to deal with the giant.
Nevertheless, hope was blooming on people’s faces.
“I respect individual choices. However, depending on the choice, each person will face different results.”
[Citizen Park Jong-chan’s reliability has reached 50.]
[Loyalty is unlocked.]
[Citizen Lee Hyuk-jin’s reliability has reached 50.]
[Loyalty is unlocked.]
······
······
Notifications of an increase in reliability and loyalty of 101 people exploded.
Among them, there were several who quickly surpassed 30 Loyalty and satisfied the conditions for vassal registration.
‘Raise the distribution rate of the experience points and settlement money of those here to 100%.’
After the number of citizens exceeded 1,000 and the ‘basic level’ skill appeared, the distribution rate of all citizens’ experience and settlement was adjusted to 0%.
So now the 101 people here were saying that when hunting monsters in the future, they would grow twice as fast and take twice as much money as other citizens.
at that time.
– aaagh!
The giant’s furious voice shook the heavens and the earth.
‘It’s started.’
Through the eyes of the absolute, I looked at the trend of the first group where Oh Eon-ju is.
***
Fu-wook!
The Cyclops, with a spear stuck in its calf, howled and looked around.
Ha Dong-gun picked up the spear created in the air and threw it at the giant once again.
Ugh-
The spear, which increased its attack power by 5 times due to the skill, dug deep into Cyclops’ calf.
– aaagh!
It was Ha Dong-gun, who reached level 36 after catching the Kingsnake at Seomyeon Station. In addition, throwing a javelin while receiving Kim Da-jung’s blessing was giving the giant quite a dizzying pain.
But that was just the limit.
His javelin throw did not threaten the giant’s life.
Ha Dong-gun came into the eyes of the angry Cyclops.
Ha Dong-gun, who met his eyes, hurriedly avoided his seat. I jumped off a three-story building and started running at full speed.
As Ha Dong-gun disappeared into the forest of buildings, Cyclops let out an angry roar.
-Uhhhhh!
The moment Ha Dong-gun was walking to trample the entire forest of disappearing buildings.
Push!
This time I felt a tingling pain on the side of my heel.
– aaah!
Oh Eon-joo, who was wearing a hand-made painting, attacked the heel.
Oh Eon-joo clicked his tongue as he looked at the scar on the giant’s heel.
‘It’s too shallow.’
It was barely enough to cut out the skin.
Despite being blessed by Kim Da-jung, she lacked strength.
But the moment I saw the blood gushing out of the giant’s wound.
“Kreung!”
Her eyes turned red and the muscles all over her body swelled.
Based on his rapidly increasing physical ability, he rushed once again and swung his claws.
Slap!
This time I was able to leave a much deeper wound than before.
– aaagh!
Cyclops screamed in pain.
‘One more shot…!’
The giant’s Achilles heel was exposed in the wound.
Even if it couldn’t be completely cut off, an attack would effectively limit the giant’s mobility.
The moment Oh Eon-joo is about to swing his claws once again.
Booung!
The giant’s feet rose at breakneck speed, and her claws, missing their target, flew through the air.
And.
aaang!
The foot that fell at a faster speed than when it went up completely broke the floor where Oh Eon-joo was.
“Cheuk…!”
With her nimble movements, she could barely avoid being stepped on, but since she was caught in the clouds of Cyclops’ feet, she couldn’t be fine.
Wow!
Her body, which flew like a cannonball, smashed the wall of the building and entered, only to stop.
“Kheop!”
The time when Cyclops was approaching to finish Owenju.
[hey! You stupid monster bastard!]
Kang Deok-soo with a flashing armor and a spear provoked the giant.
His voice rang out loud because he used the loudspeaker.
In Cyclops’ eyes, the sight of Kang Deok-soo holding a sparkling silver spear reminded him of Ha Dong-gun, who had just thrown a spear at him, and seemed determined not to miss him this time.
He started running toward Kang Deok-soo.
Whoa!
While Kang Duk-su, who succeeded in provoking, ran away at full speed toward the front door of the apartment, Da-jeong Kim, who had been hiding nearby and watching the situation, was running toward the building where Oh Eon-joo flew.
Having watched that far, I spoke to 101 citizens armed with pistols.
“Everyone get ready.”
Citizens lined up in a row held their pistols and swallowed their saliva.
“Heh, heo!”
A Cyclops with an angry face was limping behind Kang Deok-soo, who was running with all his might.
Thanks to the wound on the heel made by Oh Eon-joo, the distance did not narrow quickly.
Koo-kung!
‘come.’
The role of Team 1 in this operation was ‘bait’.
It was their job to lure him to the best place to deal with him.
And Team 1 carried out the operation very successfully.
cooong!
When Kang Deok-soo safely entered the protective barrier and Cyclops approached right in front of the front door.
Caw-
Kim Gun’s crow, the crow, rushed toward the giant’s eye.
– Ah!
The giant, blinded by the surprise attack, stood still and glared at the direction the crow flew away.
That moment.
Cheetah liquid – push!
Gayoung Kim’s arrow, which was waiting on the roof of the apartment near the main entrance, pierced the Cyclops’ hand and pierced the only eye precisely.
– Kaaagh!
The giant covered his eyes with both hands and threw his head back.
The screaming man’s mouth was wide open.
Shush!
Moon Byeong-ho appeared in front of the giant’s mouth.
He had a mouse in his hand, and threw it over Cyclops’ throat.
‘This is as planned.’
It was not in the plan for Oh Eon-joo to retire, but it was inevitable.
For the sake of completing the quest and for the sake of the overall benefit, I wanted to give her the last hit, but unfortunately the giant in front of me wasn’t easy enough to afford it.
‘I finish when I can.’
Seo Ye-jin had been sitting cross-legged next to me from beforehand, connecting her senses with the mouse, and the target was, of course, the one that fell into the throat of the Cyclops.
The eyes of the Absolute were illuminating the dark giant’s esophagus.
‘Summon gas.’
The gas that had been filled in the warehouse filled Cyclops’ esophagus and stomach.
In the next moment, I imaged as large a flame as possible into the darkness illuminated by the sight of the Absolute.
Hwaruk-
The flame that has risen like that will soon follow.
aaang!
It became the starting point of a huge explosion.
